Bring festive appliqué to your Christmas sewing with this Christmas Bells Pinsetta design, built around a red poinsettia framed by holly leaves, berries and a bell on each side. The white accents, yellow flower centre and brown bow detail keep it bright and traditional without looking heavy. It suits anyone decorating for the season who wants a classic floral Christmas motif with a little more presence than holly alone.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked, it sits well on cotton quilts, sweatshirt fleece, linen table runners and seasonal tote bags without turning stiff. The five-thread-colour palette keeps the look clean and manageable, while the appliqué style lets the petals read boldly from a distance. With sizes ranging from 3 inch to 10 inch, it works just as well as a neat feature on a child’s cardigan as it does centred on a cushion front or festive wall hanging.
